Yes, thanks for helping to Andy McKay, Paul Winkler, Chris Withers, thats what I mean. The DirectoryView (skins) don't working with PRODUCT_PATH. If I use INSTANCE_HOME they will work. But that's not what I want. If I set the INSTANCE_HOME I can just use ONE data.fs on "INSTANCE_HOME/var/data.fs". If I want is to install a second zope an use the same Products, I have to set the INSTANCE_HOME of both zope to the same directory and in this directory has to be a folder "Products" and a folder "var" with the "data.fs". And here we are, we use the same data.fs with two different zope. Or I'm wrong? Is there a way to bring zope to load the installed own zope...var/data.fs with INSTANCE_HOME and not the one in INSTANCE_HOME/var/data.fs? The solution at this moment is to put all my different products in the INSTANCE_HOME/Products till this is fixed. But the rigth way should bee to set a PRODUCTS_HOME with different path's to my products.

What's the issue number?

http://collector.zope.org/CMF/64 the last status update is from you on Nov. 7 and says "I'll try and reproduce this when I get a chance, which won't be in the next month or so." I haven't checked out from CVS since then, so I assumed nothing had changed. BTW, could someone with write access on cmf.zope.org please update this link? it points to the "historical" tracker. http://cmf.zope.org/projmgmt/issue_tracker -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com "Welcome to Muppet Labs, where the future is made - today!"

Hello together I installed an Win Zope from CVS and Plone from CVS an got the following problem? The PRODUCTS_PATH isn't working. How can I configure my start.bat for different product directories then the zope

I'm not sure what you mean by "isn't working", but there is a known bug with PRODUCTS_PATH and CMF. Filesystem Directory Views which are used by CMF & Plone do not find the specified path unless it's under INSTANCE_HOME or SOFTWARE_HOME. I filed a bug report in the CMF collector a while ago. There was some followup, but no fix yet. It will get addressed eventually, but IIRC it's not high priority at the moment. --PW ___________________________ Projekt01 GmbH www.projekt01.ch Langackerstrasse 8 6330 Cham phone +41 (0)41 781 01 78 mobile +41 (0)79 340 52 32 fax +41 (0)41 781 00 78 email r.ineichen@projekt01.ch ___________________________ END OF MESSAGE
